Jodi speaks out for men who keep their emotions bottled up instead of expressing them
“It’s hard being a woman, obviously, and it’s hard being a man too. Imagine how difficult it must be to suppress your emotions. I have empathy for men because when I ask a man how he’s doing, compared to women, they often say ‘I don’t know’ and never really open up because they feel like they’re not allowed to.”
You are NOT A BURDEN if you are sad often. You are NOT A BURDEN if you are living with constant anxiety. You are NOT A BURDEN if you need a lot of reassurances. You are NOT A BURDEN if you reach out for help. You are NOT AN BURDEN if you are fighting with your negative thoughts.
I don’t usually talk about this side of things, but I think it’s time I do...
For the past 2–5 years I’ve been dealing with ongoing harassment behind the scenes
Not just the occasional hate message, but sustained, targeted abuse
Anonymous emails
Threats
Slurs
People telling me to end my life
Accusations and lies being spread
Mass reporting my accounts to try to take away my income
People I don’t even know.
At one point it escalated to doxxing
My address, My parents’ names and phone numbers
And yeah, for a bit of context
Some of this started from a situation with an ex who was convinced I cheated. We’ve since talked, cleared it up, and are on good terms now. But the damage had already been done, and it spiralled far beyond anything that should have ever happened
I stayed quiet about it for a long time...
Not because it didn’t affect me
But because I was genuinely scared for my safety
And honestly, because speaking up in this space often makes it worse
Quite often when I sought help, there was nothing. Very minimal support from admins at the time. If anything, it felt like a slap on the wrist
Meanwhile the behaviour just kept going
And this is one of the biggest reasons I’ve struggled to enjoy creating lately
People talk about burnout, numbers, algorithms
but they don’t talk about what it’s like to constantly be targeted like this for simply existing and creating content
The worst part is the anonymity
People hide behind fake emails and accounts
say the most vile things imaginable
try to ruin your life
and face absolutely no consequences
This isn’t drama
This isn’t “just the internet”
This is abuse
No one deserves to go through this
not streamers, not creators, not anyone just trying to live their life
Some of these messages are from this year
Some go all the way back to 2023
How many years is “enough” before something actually changes?
I’m not posting this to start anything
or drag anyone into drama
I’m posting this because it needs to be said
We need to do better in this space
It’s far too small to be encouraging this kind of hate
I’m done pretending this is just part of the job
It’s not
and it never should be
🎉AusTubers is officially 2!! 🎉
From a small idea to a community that shows up, supports each other, and brings the vibes both online and IRL...
